Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 596 Devil's Breath

This is the gloomy and remote city wall as always.

The only difference is that the night has gradually become thicker, and a strange fragrance is permeating the surroundings.

What this weird taste brought to Qu Lanyi was not some sweet fantasy, but a feeling of terror.

A chilly night wind came from behind, and the surrounding trees made eerie noises.

Qu Lanyi didn't know what the smells around him were coming from. He only knew that he had to escape from this place desperately. He wasn't sure what kind of harm that thing would cause him. He only knew that if he stopped If he steps down, he may never be able to take another step.

Qu Lanyi has tried this feeling before, but he can't remember when it happened. Amnesia is a serious injury. He really can't remember when he tried this thing.

Qu Lanyi is self-confessed with high martial arts skills, and never thought that he would encounter such a thing that made him unable to resist, and he had no memory of how he escaped from such a situation before.

What exactly is it?
What is...

Qu Lanyi was full of doubts.

Verbena --

A word flashed in Qu Lanyi's mind. He didn't know when this thing got into his brain. He seemed to have an inexplicable feeling when he smelled that smell.

He didn't know why he was sensitive to this smell, he shouldn't be sensitive to this kind of thing!
Suddenly, Qu Lanyi felt that his ankle was severely impacted, and the pain was not transmitted immediately, but Qu Lanyi could feel the signs of paralysis in his body.

When Qu Lanyi came to his senses, his figure was no longer controlled by his own consciousness, and he fell towards a bush directly in front of him.

He suddenly found a sharp wooden thorn facing his face, as if it had been planned that he would fall here, and it was deliberately placed there.

Qu Lanyi turned sideways with the remaining willpower, narrowly avoiding the deadly trap.

However, just like that, he fell into a hollow mesh cover.

He struggled suddenly, but couldn't break free.

Only two men could be heard talking in Daqin dialect. Qu Lanyi couldn't understand what they said, but he knew very well that he was being netted in the form of a cat.

Those two people put him in a broken sack, restricting his movements, he didn't even have the strength to scream, he just felt that the paralysis in his body was getting heavier.

Qu Lanyi stopped moving.

What exactly is going on?

His body cannot move, but his consciousness is clear.

Qu Lanyi remained curled up in the sack, motionless, and he couldn't even remove the illusion.

Not long after, Qu Lanyi felt that the bag she was holding was being picked up, and after being swung by the wind for a while, it finally stopped in a dark place.

Coming out of the bag, Qu Lanyi's dead fish eyes showed dull yet vivid colors.

What caught his eyes was Yan's face that resembled Nan Surou's.

Qu Lanyi wanted to speak, but couldn't speak.

Deya let out a cry of surprise, and then said with a smile: "You are really amazing. After inhaling so many devil's breaths, you can still maintain your own consciousness. I admire, I really admire."

Devil's Breath?
What it is?
Qu Lanyi was very puzzled. Could it be that the weird smell just now was made from verbena?

Qu Lanyi couldn't move. He didn't know who else was around. He even had difficulty turning his eyes.

Deya laughed lightly again and said, "People are easy to be seduced, you know? Everyone who walked with me has seen it, but you were fainted by the verbena."

Impossible, there must be something else!
Qu Lanyi affirmed in her heart.

Ya said to herself: "Verbena is regarded as a sacred flower in the holy religion, just like the Bana flower that you worship the moon as a sacred flower. Verbena is used to decorate the altar, and it is also inserted in the altar. It is the most precious sacred grass, it must be included in any blessing ceremony, and it is believed to have a restraining effect on vampires."

fart--

Qu Lanyi instantly gathered all the information that Ya said in his mind.

Verbena is called Verbena in Daqin, and Longyacao in Tiansheng Dynasty. This thing is used to cool blood, dispel blood stasis, stimulate menstrual flow, clear away heat, detoxify, relieve itching, repel insects, and reduce swelling. Impossible to make people dizzy and paralyzed.

And Ya said that verbena has an inhibitory effect on vampires. He knows best whether Qu Lanyi is a vampire. What vampire?No shit, he's human, you know?He is a living person, he only knows magic spells, and it is impossible for him to be allergic to verbena.

So, to sum up, Qu Lanyi knew that he was paralyzed by the devil's breath that Ya said, but in the eyes of people other than Ya, he was fainted by the verbena.

This is the way of the magic stick. Qu Lanyi didn't know when Ya drugged him, and it took a certain time for the drug to take effect, and it happened when he ran to the city wall. The verbena was used, which caused the illusion that Qu Lanyi was fainted by the verbena.

People who had half-believed that Qu Lanyi was a monster must have believed in the concept that Qu Lanyi was not human when they saw this scene.

At this moment, the door behind Ya was opened by someone, who was also wearing a black hooded cloak, bowed respectfully to Ya, and said in Daqin language: "Crown Prince, Princess Ruiherou has arrived."

Qu Lanyi couldn't fully understand, but he understood the word Ruiherou. He wanted to stretch his neck to check, but he couldn't move.

Ya said lightly, "Let her in, and none of you will disturb her."

The man backed out in response.

Ya looked at Qu Lanyi who was dying lying on the side with flickering eyes, and said with a light smile, "Do you know how I discovered this wonderful drug called Devil's Breath?"

Of course not?Qu Lanyi stared at him.

"You can still open your eyes and stare at me after using it, which surprised me. I remember when I got this thing, I didn't have any self-consciousness at all." Ya looked up at the ceiling, as if recalling Thinking of something, he murmured: "This thing is unforgettable to me, and I will never forget it in my life, so I made my face look like her, just in case."

Not long after, the sound of clothes rubbing against the wooden floor came from outside.

Nan Surou pushed the door in from the outside, and said in Daqin dialect: "Why are you looking for me? I'm going to sleep!"

Nan Surou was wearing a dark red nightgown, which was luxurious but heavy, with puffed sleeves and a skirt with many folds, it was fine to wear in winter, but it would be too hot to wear in summer.

This was what Ya prepared for her, and Nan Surou accepted it of course.
